Clark County School District Superintendent Jesus Jara reported 23 student suicides for the year in a population of 307,210l (“Student suicides focus of meeting,” Wednesday).
The Clark County Health Department reports three deaths from COVID-19 in the same 5-17 age cohort, but population 406,575. Tell me again: Why they are not in school, and upon whose back does that reasoning fall?
